Giordana Silverline Knicker

Giordana Silverline Knicker Info

As nice as it is to see the changing colors in the trees as autumn approaches, it also signals the end of balmy warm days when only shorts and a sleeveless jersey are needed. The Giordana SilverLine Knickers for women will make that transition to cooler weather just that bit more acceptable.

These knickers have a non-restrictive stretchiness when putting them on, but offer then the perfect amount of supportive compression to help keep fatigue at bay. This may sound like the impossible task, but when you see how well constructed the bibs are, it will look less improbable. They are made from a rich fabric that wraps the front rear and sides of the leg with a microfiber fabric that helps moisture transfer while offering an ideal degree of compression. The less your muscles get jostled about, the more slowly energy sapping fatigue sets in. They have also added an ultra-fine mesh at the back of the knees to provide an extra bit of strategic ventilation while riding. Giordana has designed these knickers using their Women's Contour Fit system that enhances how well the materials interact with your body movements especially in a riding position.

The waistband is often the deciding factor as to whether knickers are comfortable or not. For the SilverLine, Giordana has given a wide yoga-inspired waistband that is entirely elastic free, and instead lined with a soft mesh that adds to the comfort as well as the moisture management. Nevertheless, the knickers remain securely in place no matter what your range of movement might require. And just to add that extra oomph of comfort, Giordana has incorporated a double layer of mesh at the front of the tummy so that it will move painlessly with you as you lean into your cycling position. The leg cuffs have received an equal amount of care. With a width of 4.5 centimeters, the cuffs will offer just the right amount of grip without cutting into your skin. They are constructed with a soft woven elastic designed to stay in place and be non-restrictive. The Giordana SilverLine Bib Shorts for women are finished off with reflective striping at the back of each leg, so even if you get stuck out after dusk, you will still be visible to the drivers around.

For the chamois, Giordana has turned to their top of the line women-specific Cirro S-W insert which uses its padding strategically so that you won’t have material bunching-up in certain areas while other spots feel under-protected. The thickness varies depending on where in the pad you need it. The layer that sits against your skin is made from Nylon microfiber and has Aloe Vera permanently infused into the threads. That means it will cool and protect delicate skin, and never wash out of the pad, no matter how many washings a season you put it through. Aloe Vera is a natural defender against bacteria, so you won’t have to worry about sores developing even if your wax job is wearing off. The next layer of this four layer system is a 3mm thick open cell foam that helps move the sweat away from your skin. It works in conjunction with the middle layer of the pad that is made of 4mm thick open foam that has a waffled texture to keep the ventilation effective and help move perspiration quickly away from your body and to the outer reaches of the pad where it can evaporate. The outer layer of the insert is made from a 7mm thick nonabsorbent memory foam that is hand sewn to the materials above and acts as the super highway to get the accumulated sweat to the outside of the fabric and evaporated.

The Giordana SilverLine Knickers for women will keep you comfy on your bike even after all the leaves have come off the trees.
